Windows device driver information for USB to Serial Converter

Computers need to work with different devices in order to perform various tasks. These devices are connected to the computer in different number of ways which can be either through a serial port that contains small pins or through a USB port. However, most of the devices that are compatible with computers on the market only come with one port and not both. Due to this it is important that a user has cables that convert the ports and make the devices compatible. One of these cables is the USB to Serial Converter. This cable allows devices that have USB ports only to be able to access devices that have serial ports only. The cable supports USB data transfers carried out between a serial interface and a USB device. USB interfaces are user friendly and at the same time have well defined protocols which have made them more dominant in recent times than the serial interfaces.
